GALLERY: Get to know The Company of Dwarves in The Hobbit

We already know Bilbo Baggins and Gandalf the Grey doesn’t require an
introduction. But what about the thirteen courageous dwarves who
accompany Bilbo on his fated quest? One by one the dwarves arrive on
Bilbo’s doorstep in Bag End and together they form The Company of
Dwarves (the dwarf version of the Fellowship of the Ring), each bringing
their own special attribute or skill to the team. They are each
described in the J.R.R. Tolkein’s novel though filmmaker Peter Jackson
has taken some liberties when it comes to cape colour and costuming,
because let’s face it, you can’t embark on a quest in a bright yellow
cape and blue hat. That would just be ridiculous.

Who is whom and how can you tell them apart? Check out our handy photo
guide to the thirteen beardly and brave dwarves (and the actors who play
them) you’ll meet when The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey opens in Cineplex theatres on December 14th.
